flip will load a sequence of TIFF files into memory and play them back at a target frame rate. A quick, simple utility to preview animations rendered in BMRT without the encoding time and quality loss of MPEG.

flow allows one to interactively construct sophisticated particle systems and render the results either in real-time via OpenGL or off-line by a RenderMan compliant renderer. flow can also 'render' a particle system to code. Using a project template, flow fills in the required code to automatically produce demos or screensavers.

Frameworks is stop-motion animation frame capture software primarily for Linux. Frameworks captures images from a camera and strings them together into an animation. These still images may then be combined into a single video file using other software. Only video4linux webcams are currently supported; work is being done to add other types of digital cameras including IEEE 1394 camcorders, and USB still cameras.

mvComicsMaker (mvCM) is a free graphics editor for creating bitmap and vector animations under the linux. It's created using QT under the Linux for Intel. mvCM allows you to use bitmap together with vector graphics.

Papagayo is a lip-syncing program designed to help you line up phonemes (mouth shapes) with the actual recorded sound of actors speaking.
